From the starting point at the mountain station of the Grasjoch cable car, the route begins with a short ascent along the Wormser Höhenweg towards Wormser Törl/Scheimersch. Passing the Wormser Törl (below the Scheimersch*), the beautiful Höhenweg with views of St. Gallenkirch leads up to the junction of the Alpgues lakes (2,320 m). From here, the upper Alpgues lake is already clearly visible. The path leads you directly along the lake and further to the lower Alpgues lake past beautiful small waterfalls. From the lower Alpgues lake, the path descends about 260 meters to the valley to the Alpgues alp (lowest point of the hike at 1,720 m). From the Alpgues alp, the path moderately but steadily ascends back to the starting point, the mountain station of the Grasjoch cable car. A stop at the Grasjoch hut with views of the Silvretta mountain range is the crowning finale of this route.
*For experienced mountain hikers, the summit of the Scheimersch is definitely worth a detour. For this additional stretch, you cover about 200 meters of altitude gain extra. Afterwards, you return via the same route to the circular path. Surefootedness and a head for heights are required.
